Huffington Post UK | By Alastair Plumb Posted: 17/04/2012 12:46 Updated: 17/04/2012 17:27
The joy of a good meme is its simplicity. Take the 'Lawyer Dog' meme here for example: it's a dog, dressed up as a lawyer.
Now that image alone would be fun enough, but to make a decent meme truly memey, the capitalised words have to be in full effect, and would you believe it, here they are.
Combining dog jokes with lawyer jokes, it's dad joke central around here - but in the best of all possible ways. So if you've got your mouse-clicking finger ready and are up for a giggle or two dozen, then get ready, because we've got just the gallery for you.
More pictures can be found on QuickMeme.com and Buzzfeed.com, and if you fancy making your own, head to the former, where they have all the required equipment.

2053 E Monument St, Baltimore, MD | Directions 2120539.298406 -76.587981
Neighborhoods: Middle East
Long time patient – I have been a patient of Dr. Howard's for at least 20 years. I've never had any problems with him or his son (Dr. Brian) or the staff.
I see the reviews are old and I'm going to assume the ones within months of each other may be when their website went up...that's how I got here.
somewhat sketchy – I've gone to Woolf & Woolf once for an eye exam, and they were totally pleasant and professional.
BUT it kinda sketches me out that there are a ton of five-star reviews from folks, many within one month of each other, all by people who have never written another Citysearch review. I guess it's possible that Drs. Woolf inspire such loyalty, but it's also possible that there's some Internet sneakiness afoot.
Life Changer – First: they have a real credit card machine, but it doesn't print a receipt. That's why they use the old school carbon paper.
Second: staff was nice enough to me. I can see where there could be a problem for people who don't treat the staff well. They'll give the doc a hard time, so they won't be afraid to do the same to you.
Third: Best eye exam I've ever had. I've always had great vision, but I had a nagging problem with one eye. Other doc's have recommended glasses or told me my vision is fine. He's the ONLY one who recommended contacts. It's a rare vision problem that has caused me to see 2-D my whole life. I now see 3-D and it's changed how I view everything. I can't thank them enough! If you have a nagging problem or just want your eyes checked, Dr. Woolf is the man!!!
I just wanted to say that I had a good experience at my visit. The Doctor was very professional and knowledgeable. I read the review about the front desk staff, but I'd already made my appointment. I agree, they're not super-friendly or very helpful. But I went in to see the Doctor, not the front desk ladies. I'll go again - he's worth it.
Don't waste your time like I did – I read these reviews and decided to go to Dr. Woolf because everyone seemed to like him. They told me they couldn't send me an e-mail because they didn't use computers. Being a support tech, this didn't
fill me with confidence. The Dr. was great, we had a nice talk about my eyes. Later, after at least 5 phone calls between 2 different staff people and a hand written FAX which was undecipherable and finally a typed FAX. I had them order me a trial pair of contacts. We had decided my insurance would be better spent on new lenses for my glasses. So yesterday I get a call telling me my contacts were in, they tell me it's $53 for a 3 month supply or $146 for a 6 month supply??? So I go up and Betty tells me the same thing. She is reading off of a sheet and doesn't even flinch when she tells me the prices. I look at her and say Betty what's 53 + 53? She looks at me with a confused look on her face and has to use a calculator to do the math. I say Betty why would I pay $146 for 6 months when I can get 2, 3 month supplies for $106. Her eyes light up,she finally gets it!!!! Then she can't figure out why the numbers don't add up. Finally after some waiting she realizes that they had figured out the prices using my insurance. Which we had specifically came to the conclusion we weren't going to use. Well after all this I had had enough. I told her I just wanted a copy of my prescription and I was going to go elsewhere. I had to pay the $10 co-pay for my insurance and a $35 contact fitting fee for some part of the eye exam that isn't part of the prescription. I told her I just wanted my eyeglass prescription and I was leaving. She had to break out the old school hand credit card swiper (you know the mechanical thing with the paper) so I could pay my $10 on my ATM card.
What a nightmare! It's too bad Dr. Woolf can't get any qualified help. I would actually go back there if they got a new staff that realized it was the 21st century and knew how to use modern technology.
Nice Work – Yesterday I had an exam with Dr. Woolf and I was very pleased. He actually took some time to talk about my eye health and my prescription. The last eye doctor I went through basically just wanted to sell me expensive glasses and then usher me out of the office. I thought that Dr. Woolf was very patient with me and listened well.
sheesh – I recently went to this office and had an overall mediocre experience. The receptionist was rude, the selection was limited and, although polite, the doctor seemed preoccupied and arrogant. This struck me as another normal visit to the eye doctor until I stumbled upon this website. Seven almost identical stellar reviews written within 1 month of each other? Speechless...
Best Care for Problem Eyes – I have been suffering from poor vision, and I was always told that there was nothing else that could be done to help me see clearly. One of my friends recommended that I see Dr. Howard Woolf to see if he could help.
During the exam, he looked in my eyes, had me sit at some machines so that he could take pictures (I got a polariod!!) of the back of my eye and then ran some tests. We realized that I'd been wearing the wrong kind of glasses and lenses my whole life... I'm not sure how the other doctors missed hitting my prescription.
Anyhow, I tried his suggestion for a totally new pair of glasses with these special lenses, and I now I'm seeing everything crystal clear! I can even drive at night again, and I thought that I'd have to keep relying on my kids for the rest of my life. I'm really grateful! The glasses look pretty good, too!
Good experience – I had a good experience with my doctor. They have a good selection of glasses - I was able to find something pretty quickly. A little more $$ than Lens Crafters, but on the other hand, I got glasses that are really high quality and the lenses don't feel like they're about to pop out of the frame.
Good visit – Very happy with these guys. Smart doctor. I saw the son. Good glasses selection. Overall, a great experience.

Because of its proximity to the international airport (5–10 minutes away) many travelers spend their first or last night in or near Alajuela, but the beauty of the surrounding countryside persuades some to stay longer. Alajuela is Costa Rica's second-most-populated city, and a mere 30-minute bus ride from the capital, but it has a decidedly provincial air compared with San José. Architecturally, it differs little from the bulk of Costa Rican towns: it's a grid of low-rise structures painted in dull pastel colors.

Hilarious Social Media Explanation
Cristina Munoz AKA The Laughing Entrepreneur back again and I'm still laughing.
This way to explain the social media platforms was absolutely hilarious
to me however it does have a serious side as well.
This is because it also breaks down what each social media platform is about in a very simple way.
As you will see it's easy to understand and makes total sense as to what each social media platform provides VALUE on.
It's all about value after all. :-)
You can use this as a fun, cool resource to help you understand these different platforms, and how you can use them to MAXIMIZE your online presence.
ESPECIALLY if you have your own online business like I do. :-)
Kind of makes you feel like eating a donut! <laughing>

What subwoofer have you paired with your Harbeths? Looking for suggestion to fill the lower frequencies on my C7 setup.
What subwoofer have you paired with your Harbeths? Looking for suggestion to fill the lower frequencies on my C7 setup.
ACI Force XL (Mono). Works quite well with SHL5.
tried single and dual (as stereo, L and R) SVS PB10 active sub with external anologue xo and electrical + digital external xo + external digital room eq and also REL Strata 3 and 5 w/o any external xo and room eq.
Currently using a old REL strata mk1 with my c7 running full range. Still fine tweaking the sub due to some room mode issue.
"Bath in Music"
Harbeth owner since 2004
REL R505 with my SHL5s
I'll be demo-ing at JL Audio F110 vs a REL B3 tomorrow and will report back my findings. Thanks for the R-505 suggestion, I'll see if they have one in stock I can demo as well.
REL R500 with my C7's - great results.
Demo'd both subs for about 2 hours in store and ended up ordering the B3 in Cherry :-)
REL is always good for music.
"Bath in Music"
Harbeth owner since 2004
B&W ASW750s for me
"If all else fails, read the instructions"
REL B-3 with C7ES3. Excellent results.
Rythmik F12SE with my SHL5. I like it because the of the precise low pass crossover point and the phase adjustments which is very important for proper integration with the main speakers. It is cheap and well built. I did audition other subs like Velodyn, Sunfire and Rel but nothing gave me the control like the Rythmik considering that you only need very little bass extension with the Super5.
Beware though, you are not going to hear the sub often ( if you have set up correctly) unless you want the extra bass that is not part of the original recordings.
I use a REL Storm V with SHL5's in my 30m2 listening room.
It integrates very well and just adds a nice and solid fundament for the music in my room.
Happy listener
Similar to the comment above, my 10 year old REL Strata III works seemlessly with the SHL5s in a 10'x20'x8' room.
Velodyne DD10. Significantly better than any REL out there.
BK XXLS400 here. BK Electronics is a small British company that sell direct. Subs have high level connections so can be connected to the speaker outputs of your amplifier and the crossover/volume set independently (and a remaining line-level connections used separately for home cinema purposes).

Bill White
9:27 PM EST, November 30, 2012
OK, let's pretend you're a member of Bethlehem City Council.
As part of his 2013 budget, Mayor John Callahan has proposed changing the city over to a single-hauler system for trash collection, an idea floated by Bethlehem leaders since, I don't know, maybe Count Zinzendorf. This proposal always is opposed by large, outspoken groups of independent haulers and other residents who intimidate council members into rejecting the idea in favor of continuing to let people choose their own trash collectors.
I'll tell you from the outset that I think it's amazing that Bethlehem hasn't made this change. For all kinds of reasons that I laid out rather weirdly in my last column, I think it's long since time for a City Council majority to set politics and timidity aside to do the right thing, although I think Callahan could have presented it sooner this year rather than throwing it out there at the last minute as part of a grab-bag of new revenue proposals.
How fired up are some residents about this single-hauler issue? Consider this little anecdote:
I brought Kylie Schmitt, a job-shadowing Southern Lehigh High School student, with me to a budget hearing where I mistakenly thought this was going to be addressed. We even got there way early, because I thought we might have trouble finding seats.
Instead, there was just a small crowd, and she had to sit through a one-hour presentation of the budget by Callahan and then council's rather boring review of various line items. I felt terrible, since I had promised a barn-burner and instead rendered her comatose, but she was very nice about my incompetence. Plus, she did get one entertaining moment when a rather grizzled old guy, who had shown up in the same misguided belief I had that this was on the agenda, finally stood up and climbed past us to leave.
"If they ain't going to talk garbage," he told us, "the hell with this [bleep]."
But let's get back to our role-playing. One thing you, a Bethlehem councilperson, know is that a lot of your residents want to talk garbage, and that in many cases, their attitude toward the rest of the budget is the hell with this bleep.
So it behooves you as part of your budget deliberations to give them a real opportunity to tell you and the mayor what they think about this proposal before you render your decision.
My multiple choice question for you is: How would you handle this hot topic? Would you:
A. Schedule a separate hearing on trash haulers so there's plenty of time for the administration to make its case, for council to ask questions and for the public to offer its comments?
B. If the schedule is tight and multiple budget items must be combined at the meeting, place the trash hauling issue at the beginning so it can be discussed at a time that's convenient to more residents?
C. Schedule it for a night when there are two major budget items to be discussed, and place this at the END? Then indulge in so many long-winded speeches and so much ridiculously protracted questioning over insignificant issues that the overflow audience — in almost all cases there to discuss trash hauling — doesn't begin its opportunity to speak until 11 p.m., too late for many people to stick around if they want to get to work in the morning. You know, trash haulers, who have to be out working before dawn?
I suppose it's possible that if you're completely oblivious, extremely fond of the sound of your own voice, indifferent to the people you're supposed to be serving and/or hoping they'll all go home so you don't have to listen to them, you might go for C. But I like to think that most public officials would have the good sense and good manners to make it A or B.
Most likely you've figured out by now that Bethlehem City Council went for C, and it was unbelievable. The meeting started at 6 p.m., and they didn't even finish discussing the public safety portion of the budget — important stuff, certainly, but not why people were there — until 9 p.m. After a 10-minute break, they started on community and economic development, eventually leading to the discussion of whether to change the city's trash hauling approach.
I'm told the meeting ended at 1:05 in the morning, but I was getting ready for bed by then. I had to be up early the next day to teach class, and I had postponed dinner until after the meeting — stupid to the end — so I left before midnight.
It goes without saying that Bethlehem residents deserve better treatment than this.
It's worth mentioning that despite the strong emotions this issue always stirs, particularly among people whose businesses may be at stake, the crowd was remarkably civil, one of my favorite Bethlehem traditions. Even though I happened to disagree with most of them on this issue, I felt bad that so many people who made the effort to turn out for that meeting had to leave before they had a chance to speak or just hear someone talking garbage.
I didn't hear any of them say, "The hell with this bleep." But they'd have been justified.

DGF Legion Baseball team ejected from state tournamentDilworth, MN (WDAY TV) - After finding themselves qualified for Minnesota's Division Two State Championship game, DGF's American Legion baseball team is coming home with no hardware and no chance at regionals. The team was disqualified after a number of on and off-field incidents.
Dilworth, MN (WDAY TV) - After finding themselves qualified for Minnesota's Division Two State Championship game, DGF's American Legion baseball team is coming home with no hardware and no chance at regionals. The team was disqualified after a number of on and off-field incidents.
The story of the Post 397 baseball team's state tourney run ends just as bizarrely as it started. The team automatically qualified for state after the New York Mills team forfeited the District 9 Championship Game - his because their coach had been ejected in the previous game and could not manage the title game.
Sources say it's an opportunity squandered by immature and unacceptable behavior.
Al Davis – Minnesota American Legion: "I can't recall anything such as this that has ever happened before. I don't know if any team has ever been ejected from a state tournament."
According to a letter from the hotel director at Prairie's Edge Casino Resort, given to WDAY by a team parent, the incidents started on Thursday when teammates soaked part of another players bed in water.
This resulted in a mattress needing to be cleaned, a $100 fine, and four players being suspended for Fridays game, but DGF still won 11-3, then followed that up with a 4-3 victory on Saturday.
According to KDMA Sports Director Lou Kuno, who was also the public address announcer for the tournament, their conduct on the field wasn't any better than it was off the field.
Lou Kuno – KDMA Sport Director: "They continued to be real vocal and not yelling encouragement for their hitter, just noise to disrupt the pitcher. Then the same thing happened again in game two of the tournament."
After reviewing security camera footage, the letter also states the boys were being loud and in and out of their rooms late Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Security was called and a couple not affiliated with the team complained, and was refunded their room rate because of the noise.
The team was fined another $100.
Al Davis: "I can understand youthful exuberance, but after one incident when you are told and warned that there will be repercussions, I would think they would be walking on egg shells the rest of the tournament."
Multiple messages were left for Post 397 and DGF Baseball Coach Al Krueger, but all went unreturned. According to Davis, the coach was unfazed by his team's actions.
Al Davis: "For the most part he dismissed everything, just dismissed it saying, oh well, we'll pay for it.
Now, his future as an American Legion baseball coach could be in question.
Al Kuno: "Three or four state guys there from State American Legion baseball, there was some talk the head coach may get a lifetime ban and the team may get a ban for years."
Any decision on Coach Krueger's future wouldn't be made until State Officials meet in October.

VABOOK 2010 Awesome Reading Group Panel
I'm home from the whirlwind of the Virginia Festival of the Book (VABOOK). What an exciting and fun time! I met so many authors, reading group members, book bloggers. people working in the book business and loving it! What a great weekend. Here is my post on the awesome panel I have the pleasure of moderating. More VABOOK posts later -- maybe some author posts!!
Thursday night, I invited my reading group choices panelists to dinner to talk about the panel on Friday and to get acquainted with each other. Masha Hamilton (31 Hours), Sheila Curran (Everyone She Loved), Mary Sharratt (Daughters of the Witching Hill), and Laura Brodie (The Widow's Season)chatted the evening away. I was happy that they got along so well. Masha, Sheila, and Mary are alumni of the reading group choices panels from previous years. Laura fit right in!
The panel was great (I thought!) I counted over 75 attendees. Each writer summarized their books, read a little, and made reference to ideas and themes in their work that reading groups could engage in their discussion. Here is a brief summary of the panelists' ideas and thoughts from and of their books.
Masha's 31 Hours ideas include spirituality, isolation, disconnection, motherhood, terrorism. Discussion points, such as, should we give moral guideleines -- attend a formalized church when kids are young to help ground them in some sense of right and wrong? Or, let them find answers on the own?
Friends, family, death, grief, control, hope, love are centered in Shelia's Everyone She Loved. One main question the book asks is "If we could, we would control our kids' lives, after we are dead, in order to protect them?"
History doesn't give the whole story, usually. Do we every hear the voices and feelings of those involved? In Daughters of the Witching Hill, Mary embodies the women accused of witchcraft in 1612 and lets them tell their story. Mary pointed to many great converstion starters: history, social issues, class system, womens' lives in that period, motherhood, forgiveness, and womens' bonds in terrible times.
Laura spoke on her dissertation on widows in literature as the inspiration for The Widow's Season. Ghosts, widows, hope, the aftermath and psychology of grief, and the enduring cycle of life are great discussion topics for reading groups.
I had an excellent time -- they were a thrill to moderate. These authors and their books are awesome! Bring them to your next book club meeting and select them for your reading list.
It was such a pleasure being
It was such a pleasure being part of your panel, Barbara, and joining such a great group of writers!

The Demotic Dictionary of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago
Janet H. Johnson, editor
The Oriental Institute, Chicago
©2001 The University of Chicago. All rights reserved.
Published 2001. United States of America.
Introduction to The Demotic Dictionary of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago
The Demotic Dictionary of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago (CDD) is a lexicographic tool for reading texts written in a late stage of the ancient Egyptian language and in a highly cursive script known as Demotic. In use from ca. 650 B.C. until the middle of the fifth century A.D., Demotic served as the medium for a wide variety of text types. These include "documentary" texts, such as business and legal documents, private letters and administrative inscriptions, and "literary" texts, including not only works of literature per se, for example, narrative texts and pieces of wisdom literature, but also religious and magical texts and scientific texts dealing with topics such as astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. Demotic texts thus not only provide important witnesses for the development of ancient Egyptian linguistic and paleographical traditions but also constitute an indispensable source for reconstructing the social, political, and cultural life of ancient Egypt during a fascinating period of its history.
The CDD is intended to supplement and update W. Erichsen's Demotisches Glossar, which was published in 1954 and has been the only large-scale dictionary of Demotic available to the scholarly world. The CDD is formatted in a way to make it as compatible with Erichsen's Glossar as possible and is based mainly on texts published during the first twenty-five years after the Glossar appeared (i.e., 1955–1979). The coverage of texts published between 1955 and 1979 is intended to be comprehensive. In addition, the CDD contains some vocabulary from texts published before 1955, especially gleanings from Wilhelm Spiegelberg's manuscript dictionary. The CDD also includes a few items from texts published after 1979, especially new studies of texts that were originally published between 1955 and 1979, but no systematic attempt has been made to include words from all texts published after the latter date. Whenever possible, references to more recent secondary literature (i.e., that published in 1990 or later) have been incorporated into the dictionary's entries, though coverage of such references is not complete. The CDD includes both new meanings or significant new orthographies for words cited by Erichsen and words that are absent from the Glossar. It also contains far more extensive examples of compounds, title(-string)s, and idiomatic expressions than the Glossar. Otherwise, if the CDD does not have significant new information to add to that adduced by Erichsen, a reference is given to the appropriate page(s) in the Glossar.
This preliminary publication of the CDD, an online version, is offered as a series of PDF files—one for each letter. Further letters will be added as they are completed.

TROWBRIDGE & DISTRICT LEAGUE DIVISION TWO: Kennedy goal earns Heytesbury shock win
2:00pm Monday 2nd December 2013 in Sport News
ON A day of surprise results in Division Two, villagers Heytesbury claimed probably the biggest one with a 1-0 victory at home to Dave Jenkins' promotion hopefuls Trowbridge Town Reserves who had beaten their hosts 4-0 way back in early September.
After a goalless first half the deadlock was broken by Leigh Kennedy whose well-taken lob on 65 minutes was enough to earn Heytesbury their win.
Bradford United Reserves 0 Lacock FC 5
A 5-0 VICTORY for leaders Lacock at Bradford United Reserves saw Joe Martin and Martin Bradfield's side stretch their unbeaten run to 11 matches and, at what is the halfway stage of the season for many teams, it is growing harder week by week to see anyone being able to derail the villagers in their quest for the title.
Bradford started their latest game with just 10 players and were reduced to nine after an injury to Danny Harrision who later came back on and hobbled around to help his teams cause. By half time Bradford were up to full strength but 2-0 down to goals from Mike Wilkins and Dan Young.
The second half saw Bradford loss Harrision as his injury became to bad for his to carry on, but they continued to give it their all as they kept theit much superior guests at bay and restricted them to three more goals, Tom Lye on his debut, Jake Marshall and Adam Shipman making up Lacock's five.
Trowbridge Wanderers 3 Westbury Town 6
WESTBURY Town were another team who pulled off a shock result as they beat Matt Rusling's promotion chasing Trowbridge Wanderers Reserves side 6-3 away from their own base at Bratton and should set the teams up nicely for the return fixture scheduled for next weekend.
Tristan Buckland gave Westbury the lead when he headed home a Jordan Cain free kick. Wanderers restored parity through a Steve Jackson penalty after Will Bayley had been brought down. Wanderers were then caught out not once, but twice by Levi Wood whose two breakaway goal put Westbury 3-1 up at half time.
Levi Wood completed his hat-trick before Mike Riston's free kick gave Wanderers hope of getting back into the game, however it wasn't to be as a fourth of the afternoon from Wood and a long-range thunderbolt from Jordan Cain made it 6-2 to Westbury before Nathan Olasz scored a brilliant 30 yard effort at the end to claim the losers third of an incredible game.
Worton & Cheverell 9 Westwood News 1
WESTWOOD News were undoubtedly the biggest winners on an afternoon that saw Mark Hurkett's side move into second place following their own 9-1 win at Worton & Cheverell that was coupled with shock defeats for both Trowbridge Town Reserves and Trowbridge Wanderers Reserves, who had both started the afternoon above the newsmen in the standings.
For the opening quarter of the game at The Lye, Worton matched their guests but once Josh Maguire put Westwood ahead on 21 minutes the hosts who fielded many of their former youth players fell apart.
Mark Maguire made it 2-0 on 27 minutes and it was game over just before the interval thanks to a second of the match for Josh Maguire.
Any fight that Worton may have had left in them all but vanished in the 51st minute when Josh Maguire bagged his third of the game which was quickly followed by a second from his brother Mark on 58 minutes. Josh Maguire took his tally to four and Westwood's to six a few minutes later.
What was quickly becoming the Maguire double act was ended on 67 minutes when Ashley Styles got his name on the score sheet.
Steve Bryant turned in disgust as his over his cross looked to be sailing over the bar so he missed out when the ball dropped into the net for 8-0 and when Lee Stevens headed home number nine on 84 minutes the rout was completed.
However the last goal of the game went to Worton's Ben Mason who struck his side's consolation five minutes from time.

Bayern chasing progress at Mestalla
Bayern Munich are keen to book their place in the knockout stage of the Champions League with victory over Valencia, but they come up against a side with exactly the same goal at the Mestalla.
A win for the Bavarians would take last season's beaten finalists through to the last 16 with a game to spare, while victory for Valencia without conceding - or by more than a single goal - would guarantee them one of the two qualifying berths and leave Bayern sweating.
A draw, on the other hand, would only serve to do Bayern a favour, being enough to see them through if BATE Borisov slip up against Lille, but the Germans are focusing on getting all three points tomorrow night.
``We want to win the group,'' said chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge prior to departure.
Bayern's hopes may be compromised somewhat by the rib injury to Franck Ribery which could deprive them of their ``best player'', according to Rummenigge.
``He's a key player for us,'' he said. ``Take Lionel Messi out of Barcelona or Cristiano Ronaldo out of Real Madrid, or Wayne Rooney out of Manchester United and they are not the same.
``They are dependent on those players and our game is dependent on Ribery.''
``He has been the best player for us in recent months and when he's on the field, it's good for our team and not so good for our opponents, so I hope he can play tomorrow.
Valencia will certainly be keeping their fingers crossed that the Frenchman wakes up with his ribs still too sore to play, although they prefer to concentrate on their own strengths.
Mauricio Pellegrino's men have won their last seven competitive matches at the Mestalla, including Champions League triumphs over BATE and Lille, while they have only lost once in 15 games in front of their own fans since March.
``It's a very important game for the club and the fans, but we're ready to have a good game,'' said defender Adil Rami.
``We know that they are one of the best teams in the world, but we shouldn't forget that at home we're looking unbeatable.
``Here we have our best weapons.''
Valencia were not so impressive in defeating the Primera Division's bottom club Espanyol at home this weekend, needing a last-gasp penalty from Roberto Soldado to claim a 2-1 triumph, but Rami is consoled by the fact they got the three points.
``Everyone, all the Valencia players, did poorly,'' the France international admitted.
``When we play well and lose, it's bad, but when we play badly and we win, at least we get the three points.
``In any case, there's plenty of motivation for the game, because it's at our ground, because it's against one of the best sides in the world, because it is a Champions League game.
``It has everything.''
Pablo Piatti, Sergio Canales, Fernando Gago and Jeremy Mathieu are all unavailable to Valencia.

Predation and the management of prairie grouse
Wildlife Research and Management - Game Management and Conservation
Date Published: 2001
Number of Pages: 9
Author(s): Michael A. Schroeder and Richard K. Baydack
DESCRIPTION:Originally published in Wildlife Society Bulletin 29(1):24-32.
ABSTRACT:This paper examines the importance of predation in the life cycles of sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), sharp-tailed grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus), greater prairie-chicken (T.cupido), and lesser prairie-chicken (T.pallidicinctus). Most individual prairie grouse eventually succumb to predation, with substantial effects on nest success, juvenile survival and adult survival. Predator control has occasionally been used as a management tool with the belief that reducing predator numbers can enhance viability of game populations in general and prairie grouse in particular Although some experimental research has shown that direct reduction of predator numbers can increase grouse recruitment most current management plans recommend indirect management of the grouse-predator relationship by manipulating habitats. However, as habitats become more fragmented and altered and populations of prairie grouse become more threatened and endangered, it is important to reconsider predator control as a management option and to evaluate its viability through experimentation.

The Dutch bantam or De Hollandse Krielan has been in existence for a long time and first appeared in Britain in the late 1960s. They are upright little birds with short backs, and a high full breast. The wings are fairly large and long and are carried close to the body. The tail is full and well spread with well developed sickles. The comb is single with five serrations and the beak is short, strong and slightly curved. Ear lobes are small and oval shaped while the wattles are short and round. They have four toes and the legs are unfeathered.
Egg production is limited to the summer months and eggs take only 20 days to hatch instead of the usual 21 days for other breeds. They are good layers, good setters, and good broodies. Because of their small size, Dutch females are only capable of covering a small clutch of eggs. The chicks are very active indeed and need good quality chick crumbs to keep up with their appetites. They usually need these for longer than the usual 8 weeks and also require shallow drinkers to prevent them from drowning if they happen to fall in. Dutch bantams are jaunty little birds and need to be protected from the winter weather. They also need good fencing as they are good fliers.
Gold partridge, silver partridge or duckwing, yellow partridge or duckwing, blue silver partridge or duckwing, blue yellow partridge or duckwing, blue partridge (blue-red), red shouldered white (pyle), cuckoo partridge (crele), cuckoo, black, white, blue and lavender (pearl grey)
Please Note: All Chickens listed here are for collection only. They cannot be delivered by the Seller or by Omlet. Once you have purchased the Chickens you will be emailed the Seller's contact address details.
I have just got 7 silver duck wing Dutch bantam eggs from my friend and I have put them in the incubator, I have just candled them and 6 out of 7 have got something in. Awesome
These are lovely chickens to have pecking around your garden. Ideal for small or large gardens. They lay an egg a day each. Very pleased with this breed.
The golden dutch chicks are no bigger than a pidgin and lay eggs every over day and love to be out side in the garden , golden dutch chicks can fly but only short distance.
I have a pair of gold partridge which have just had one chick andI fully intend to increase the flock. I let them roam freely around the garden where they seem to thrive. They seem to have sorted out the problem with snails eating all my plants and they never damage anything. They are very friendly and always cluck around as I tend the garden, great characters with lots of personality. Extremely easy pets to care for and inexpensive too. If living in close proximity to neighbours who may not appreciate early morning fanfare avoid having a cockerel as they tend to be quite vocal, (personally I enjoy it !)..P.S. The chicks are adorable !
I have a pair of dutch bantams they are a must have, cute, friendly and lay small but very tasty eggs! They are garden friendly and squeak not cluck. Recently the female had been sitting on 6 eggs after approximately 20 days one hatched, surprisingly because i'm not experienced being only my second hatching. With only one of them hatching I was quite disappointed I suspected that the rest was not fertilised. The male is very protective and the hen a very good mother. The chick is very small and very confident I am not sure what gender it is yet but I am sure he\she would not mind being called may. Love this pair!

Donations of Appliances - Question
Hi All,
I have a great washer and dryer set on sale on various online sites. If I don't sell them, I would like to know who I can donate them to so that a needy family or person receives them without having to purchase them in a thrift store. I want the place that I donate them to to be sure to give them to someone versus putting them for sale in a store. I want to donate them to an organization so that I also receive credit for the donation.
Our Actions And How They Affect Others
Imagine how pleasant life could be if each and everyone of us would THINK about how our actions affect others. Considering the impact of our attitudes, words and decisions may help us to realize that even the smallest alteration could change the outcome or result of a situation. We may not realize how we touch everyone we come in contact with on a daily basis - whether it be someone at work, in our family, while driving, while grocery shopping, etc.
It starts with one action, one person, one day, one hour, one minute - it starts with each and everyone of us - whatever that action may be.

text: Although you may have never heard of it, Verjus isn't a new, novelty foodstuff, but an ancient staple making its comeback! Used in place of a "squeeze of lemon" in the days before lemons were widely available in European cooking, this tart, sour, slightly sweet, centuries old ingredient adds a layer or depth the simple lemon only dreams about! This artisanal Verjus is produced in limited quantities before the wine grape harvest each year. When the grapes are still green, about 6 weeks before harvest, we walk the vineyard and thin out the clusters, so the perfect amount of grapes per vine remain to ripen to perfection for wine. With the green grapes we have thinned, in the spirit of "waste nothing," we make Verjus, green juice, as people have done for centuries. An added benefit is that Verjus does not clash with wine.

Good Food – On the day we ate at this restaurant, they only had two servers and we believed one of them was in training. So, as one could imagine, the service was slow and they got our order mixed up two times. Aside from that, they were very polite and the food was very tasty. I would agree with the other reviewer on this restaurant--it is authentic as one will get. The prices were a bit spendy though, but then again, we were tourists in HI where all their prices seem outrageous.

Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, center, waves from the back of a truck during a visit to North Kordofan, Sudan, Thursday, April 19, 2012. The Arab League said Thursday it would hold an emergency meeting over the increasing violence between Sudan and South Sudan.
KHARTOUM, Sudan -- Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir all but declared war against his newly independent neighbor on Thursday, vowing to teach South Sudan a "final lesson by force" after it occupied a disputed oil field.
South Sudan accused Bashir of planning "genocide" and said it would fight to protect its people.
Mounting violence since Sudan split into two countries last year has raised the prospect of two sovereign African states waging war against each other openly for the first time since Ethiopia fought newly independent Eritrea in 1998-2000.
Both are poor countries - South Sudan is one of the poorest in the world - and the dispute between them has already halted nearly all the oil production that underpins both economies.
South Sudan says Heglig oilfied reduced 'to rubble'
Appearing in medal-spangled military uniform at a large rally, Bashir danced side-to-side, waved his walking stick in the air and made blistering threats against the leadership of the South, which seceded last year after decades of civil war.
"These people don't understand, and we will give them the final lesson by force," the burly military ruler told the rally in El-Obeid, capital of the North Kordofan state. "We will not give them an inch of our country, and whoever extends his hand on Sudan, we will cut it off."
China, a major investor in the oil industry in both countries, expressed "serious concern" about the increase of tensions and called on both sides to stop fighting, "maintain calm and exercise maximum restraint".

A picture taken on April 17, 2012 shows burned buildings which are all that remain of an old Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) compound in Heglig, in Sudan.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said South Sudan's seizure of the oil field was an "illegal act" and called on both countries to stop fighting.
Bashir: South Sudan rulers are 'insects'
South Sudan separated from the rest of Sudan with Bashir's blessing last July under the terms of a 2005 peace deal. But since then violence has steadily escalated, fuelled by territorial disputes, ethnic animosity and quarrels over oil.
Birthday wish: 'Lost boys' pin hopes on independent South Sudan
Last week, South Sudan seized Heglig, a disputed oilfield near the border between the two countries, claiming it as its rightful territory and saying it would only withdraw if the United Nations deployed a neutral force there.
Sudan's armed forces spokesman Al-Sawarmi Khalid said by phone the army was now fighting "inside Heglig."
South Sudan's army (SPLA) said it had repulsed a large attack on Heglig on Wednesday evening, stopping Sudan's forces about 18 miles from the territory.
"The SPLA maintained its position," spokesman Philip Aguer said. He also accused Sudan of launching another attack in the border regions of South Sudan's Western Bahr al-Ghazal state.
In a sign of the conflict widening, the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) - considered the most militarily potent of the rebel factions in Sudan's western Darfur region - claimed it had launched an assault on the al-Kharsana oil region near Heglig.
PhotoBlog: Last few licks of paint as South Sudan preps for independence
"We are surrounding the Sudanese army in the main military base in al-Kharsana," JEM spokesman Gibreel Adam Bilal said by phone. Heglig is hundreds of km away from JEM's bases in Darfur but the group has fought in the Kordofan region in the past.
The Sudanese army spokesman, Khalid, denied JEM's statement, saying there was no fighting in the al-Kharsana area.
Limited access for independent journalists to Sudan's remote conflict zones makes it difficult to confirm the often contradictory claims issued by all sides.
Sudanese Lost Boy Mawut Mayen talks about his life in America and what the new nation of South Sudan means to him.
African states have often waged war on each other's territory, but it is extremely rare for them to talk openly of fighting against government forces of sovereign neighbors.
Bashir's address to the rally on Thursday followed a fiery speech to party supporters on Wednesday, when he vowed to "liberate" South Sudan from its ruling party, which he repeatedly referred to as "insects", in a play on its Arabic name.
South Sudan's Information Minister Barnaba Marial Benjamin responded on Thursday with outrage.
"Mr. President, we are no insects and if you are launching your genocide activities to the Republic of South Sudan to kill the people of South Sudan .... we can assure you we will protect the lives of our citizens."
However, he also said South Sudan was willing to resume talks immediately on all outstanding issues.
"The Republic of South Sudan is not in a state of war, nor is it interested in war with Sudan," he said.
In both speeches, Bashir vowed to retake the Heglig oilfield, which he said was part of Sudan's Kordofan region. But he also said that alone would not end the conflict.
"Heglig is not the end, but the beginning," he said in Thursday's speech.

Gasperini issue Palermo rallying cry
Palermo coach Gian Piero Gasperini has thrown the gauntlet down to his players, asking them to finally provide something for the fans to cheer about on Sunday.
The ex-Inter Milan boss has certainly elicited some improved performances from the Rosaneri since replacing Giuseppe Sannino, but the Sicilians remain stranded in 19th place having conspired to win just one game so far.
Gasperini wants to see commitment across the squad, starting against Sampdoria on Sunday, having witnessed a swift decimation of his regular starters through injury.
Defender Andrea Mantovani is the latest player to enter the treatment room after damaging his anterior cruciate ligament last week, with striker Abel Hernandez having already suffered the same injury.
He told the Corriere dello Sport: "The game against Samp will not be easy, even more so given the injury situation that doesn't let us choose our best players.
"I just can't have anyone here who turns their nose up at playing only 15 minutes, I've made it clear to all the players that they must give their all whenever they are called upon."
A statistical quirk has given Gasperini food for thought, too, with the Rosanero yet to win a game that kicked off at lunchtime.
"We haven't coped well in the past," he added. "But it's only been three years that we've had to play at midday and we'll get used to it.
"I know that the president is ready to invest in the squad and everybody here wants to get out of this slump."
If Gasperini is starting to feel the pressure to deliver then he should spare a thought for Sunday's counterpart, Ciro Ferrara.
The Samp boss, together with director of sport Pasquale Sensibile, received the dreaded vote of confidence this week, and there is little doubt that a point is the minimum requirement from the trip to Sicily.
Speaking about the duo, vice-president Edoardo Garrone told La Repubblica: "No one has any doubts over their quality.
"When someone asks me to confirm the coach's position, I have to repeat every time that I have never considered that our problems are down to him.
"I'm absolutely convinced that we have the right coach and the right players to get out of this situation."
The visitors have lost six games in a row and are beset by injuries, with Maxi Lopez undergoing knee surgery this week to join Gaetano Berardi, Nicola Pozzi and Andrea Poli on the sidelines.

After seeing reports of the fire that destroyed the Childress Memorial Church of God in Christ Saturday, Pastor Robert Emmitt of the Community Bible Church knew he had to help.
"I came into church and one of my pastors…said, 'What's going on?' I said, 'Well, sit down and close the door, here's what the Lord put in my heart,'" said Emmitt.
Earlier that day, the pastor contacted the elders in his congregation to get their blessing on his idea. Once he got it, he wrote a check for $100,000 and gave it to Bishop Samuel Iglehart just moments before he led his church in its first service since Saturday's fire.
"We've received responses from all over the country," said Iglehart. "I'm certainly proud to know that I live in a city where the constituency of the city will come to your aid if you need it."
Agents with the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms arrived at the east side church Sunday afternoon to begin their investigation. Several agents moved in and out of the building, searching for any signs of arson. The investigation is expected to last the entire week.
Bishop Iglehart said regardless of what investigators find, his congregation is already moving forward.
"We have no control over the other forces," he said. "If they were so of a nature to do it we've said 'God bless them.'"

Dataset citation
ANZLIC unique identifier: ANZCW0703015330
Title: Backscatter grid of the central block of the Mandu survey area (Carnarvon Shelf)
Custodian: Geoscience Australia
Jurisdiction: Australia
Geoscience Australia carried out a marine survey on Carnarvon shelf (WA) in 2008 (SOL4769) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through colocated sampling of surface sediments and infauna, observation of benthic habitats using underwater towed video and stills photography, and measurement of ocean tides and wavegenerated currents. Data and samples were acquired using the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) Research Vessel Solander. Bathymetric mapping, sampling and video transects were completed in three survey areas that extended seaward from Ningaloo Reef to the shelf edge, including: Mandu Creek (80 sq km); Point Cloates (281 sq km), and; Gnaraloo (321 sq km). Additional bathymetric mapping (but no sampling or video) was completed between Mandu creek and Point Cloates, covering 277 sq km and north of Mandu Creek, covering 79 sq km. Two oceanographic moorings were deployed in the Point Cloates survey area. The survey also mapped and sampled an area to the northeast of the Muiron Islands covering 52 sq km.. gnaraloo_3m is an ArcGIS layer of the backscatter grid of the Gnaraloo survey area produced from the processed EM3002 backscatter data of the survey area using the CMST-GA MB Process
